Happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble Gobble 'til you Wobble!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! Enjoy time with your family and friends and rest up to hit those Black Friday sales!

We are laying low today. We are going to watch the parade and then let some nice restaurant folks cook for us and we are going to spend the day playing and hanging out. For us, that is just perfect. We do wish we were close enough to visit many of you, but we aren't, so we won't cry in our cranberry sauce. We will be thankful to have you in our lives and we will eat some good food and play with this little girl until we all fall asleep and dream of Christmas decorations. We are so ready to decorate and show Allie how much fun Christmas lights and music are! She is going to have a blast and we will learn just how entertaining a 2 year old is around a Christmas tree and Mommy's decorations. Luckily, many of them are already kid proof after years of anticipation. She already has a new favorite toy... a bright red Elmo Christmas stocking that sings only ONE (unfortunately) song. Aunt Leah is the favorite right now as she brought Allie this new favorite toy. Thanks, Aunt Leah! We are enjoying it still (okay... Tim hid it for a few hours last night, but we found it again).

Have a wonderful Turkey Day! We are thankful for all of you. You are the best Fan Club Allie could ever wish for!

All About Me

Just call me Allie

I was born on November 19, 2007 and was 6 weeks early and really small for my "age". I weighed 2 pounds and 5 ounces and was 13 1/4 inches long. I didn't come home until I was 72 days old. When I was 4 1/2 months old, I had Open Heart Surgery and was in the hospital in Birmingham for 15 days.

When I was about 8 months old, I began wearing bi-lateral hearing aids because I have a mild-to-moderate hearing loss. Oh, and I have Trisomy 21, which means I have more chromosomes than most of you. It is also called Down syndrome.
